she sends packages to the camps. she was -- she writes she to justice william in california who was the dissenting judge in the case to try to use his dissent argument to fdr. and she doesn't make that publicly. she splits with fdr and comes out against it in' 44. there's a painful silence. you can tell how distressed she is she writes it disstills my soul to think of american children behind barbed wire. >> the the second thing is -- umm, it's hard to explain, but

it has to deal with some internal behind the scenes deliberations about how to get long fire. it was a very old political ally of fdr and played a huge role in the nomination in 1932. she has developed relationships with what we would, you know, five years later call zionists. and she is appearing in sin -- synagogues especially in communities where there have been violence. what she's doing is this dance. you know, this dance between using, you know, not assailing of the government's tamarty in refugee policy. in my day, but she's making it

very painfully clear on the ground where she stands. .. [applause] [inaudible conversations]

>> that concludes our coverage of the 2013 roosevelt reading festival. you can watch the airing of our live coverage tonight at midnight. next on book tv, susan allen, the wife of the former virginia governor and u.s. senator george allen present a children's book on the life of president ronald reagan. thank you, all, for your interest in a great story about a remarkable president. i was really happy to be able to write this book, because ronald reagan is perhaps one of our best presidents ever. and we wanted to make sure that children like you understood more about what made him so special. because one of you one day could

be president of our country, and we want to make sure that we have strong leaders to understand how important it is to have ideas and how important it is to communicate. ronald reagan was known as the great communicator. you are already off on a great start, tommy. and we want to make sure you understand what happened during his time as president. please join us. thank you, hi, honey to read this summer, about two weeks ago, the book was first published. so you are really some of the first young people to be able to read the "the remarkable ronald reagan." he was a family friend of ours. when my father-in-law, my husband's father was an avalanche of ronald reagan was governor and he would come to football practice and so he became a family friend. so there is a history with our family and one of the reasons why i wanted to tell his story -- because i do think that young people need to know about "the

remarkable ronald reagan." so what i want to do is ask you all to think about what you want to be when you grow lab. because most people don't know that ronald reagan was probably like you -- he came from a small town in illinois a and he had a lot of dreams about what he wanted to do. maybe play baseball, maybe be an actor, do all sorts of things. he had big dreams and i did you think about what you want to do something in your life. well, ronald reagan worked really, really are coming and he worked during a time people didn't have a lot of money giving it was during the depression. his mother would invite friends into their home and would give them a meal and ask them to stay because a lot of people have lost their home or didn't have enough money to buy food. mrs. reagan, ronald reagan's mother, had an influence on him. she took him to church every sunday, he and his brother. she made sure he learned how to be kind to other people in his community. so we talk about that in this

book. and if you see these illustrations -- if you have ever read "highlight" magazine the editor works for the magazines and you might recognize the type of art work she does. ronald reagan began a lifeguard, too. he saved 77 people by pulling them from the rock river. you know how we knew this? he had a stick he would leave 77 marks for each person he pulled out of the river. he went off to be an actor in hollywood. he had a friend that said why don't you try clacks he was nervous about it but he went and tried to become an actor and he made 53 films. he also was a radio announcer, and he would sometimes do baseball games where he was not even sitting there that he would get the information over the wire and he would describe it so beautifully it sounded just like he was there. ronald reagan played football at eureka college and one of his dreams was to someday be a cowboy coming and he played a cowboy in movies but eventually he bought a ranch so he could ride a horse and the cowboys

whenever he wanted. when world war ii happened, he decided that he wanted to go and try to help his country that he had poor eyesight, so they wouldn't let him go to war. instead, the used his talent to make film for the troops so he could help train the troops. eventually ronald reagan ran for governor in california and served eight years. he and his wife, nancy reagan, served eight years as the governor of california, and he worked really hard to have more jobs for the people and have lower taxes so their quality-of-life would be really good. but right when he was done with that, he decided this is the time to buy a ranch. so - up in the hills he bought the ranch where he had a horse he to write every day if he wanted. he would go out and chop down trees and take care of the fields and the fences, too and that was important. he liked having time to think about what he wanted to do. people asked him to run for

president, said he did. he ran twice, first in 1976 and he lost. and you know sometimes it is hard when you lose to the side you want to run again and try something. but he did and he won. in 1990 he went on to become president of the united states, the 40th president. he became friends with michel gorbachev. do you know who mikhail gorbachev was? he was a leader of russia at the time and ronald reagan had actually made a speech telling mikhail gorbachev to tear down this wall that separated free people from those that were kept under communist rule. that meant their lives were not freed. they later became friends and ronald reagan invited him to his ranch. that's really important when you are a leader. you can disagree on your issues or ideas but it's important to still recognize people arguments to are trying to do their best usually come as both of these leaders were hitting it well, ronald reagan spent his final

days going to the ranch and he and his wife, nancy, spend as much time there as they could. he died in 2004 from alzheimer's , that is a disease that some of you might know about. it's a disease that many people have family members who suffered from alzheimer's. it is a very sad, slow, debilitating disease. the country said goodbye to ronald reagan in 2004. but he was such an incredible man and a remarkable man that his legacy lives on and our hope is you all will read about him. in our book we have highlights from his time when he was president and things that he did the work very special to help humans around the world. in fact, you can meet people today who say ronald reagan is one of the people that helped make them free when he told the communist to tear down the wall. he was to write a lot of letters. a good reader is often a good writer and ronald reagan would tell you to read as much as you can but also to use your skills

of writing. we have a letter he used to write to boys and girls the would write him when he was in the oval office. can you imagine getting a letter from the president addressed to you? he also gave a lot of funny clothes or interesting quote in his lifetime because he was called the great communicator and you can read these in the back of the book of and i like the one that said there's nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of the course. that means if you are working hard sometimes you get sore from riding a horse coming you probably spent time outside thinking about what you want to do with your life and we need to do. and that's really important, too. succumb ronald reagan was really a remarkable man coming and i've enjoyed sharing his story with you. there is more to this story because i didn't look through every page with you. so i encourage all of you to find out what made ronald reagan remarkable, and i hope all of you will have a remarkable life and live out your dreams. thank you so much for coming today. was a pleasure. thank you. [applause] do you have any questions?

i hope that you are reading this summer, right? find your favorite books to read. great. okay. anything else? thank you. >> we are going to go right over here. we have a table set up. if you haven't received a book already coming you can have ms. allen signed it for you. >> thanks, guys. >> you're watching the tv, nonfiction authors and books every weekend on c-span2. the story is a very sad story of how you discovered the famine and how it affected your family.

[speaking in native tongue] >> translator: i was in the second year of my high school. was the spring of 1959. >> [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: so my high school -- which was the only school in the country -- was a long way away from my village. >> [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: a childhood friend came to my school and told me that my father was dying. >> [speaking in chinese] >> translator: and asked me to take some back home to visit my father. >> [speaking in chinese] >> translator: so, i went to the student cafeteria asking them to stop my rationing of food for three days so i could take5 kilos of rice back to

my dad. >> [speaking in chinese] >> translator: so, for students, the schools, public schools were guaranteed some food. >> [speaking in chinese] >> translator: so, after i gave my father the rice, my father urged me to leave. >> [speaking in chinese] >> translator: so i went out to the fields and got some wild vegetables and gave him his wild vegetables. >> [speaking in chinese] >> translator: i did not realize my father was in such a

serious condition. he could not eat the rice at all coming and he knew he was dying, so he urged me to leave the neighbors don't tell the news until he passes away. >> [speaking in chinese] >> translator: i didn't return home again until a few days later when my childhood friend came up with the bad news. i went back, and my father was already dead. >> but you did not realize at the time that this was a wider problem.

[speaking in chinese] >> translator: i blamed myself. i thought my father's death was an individual's choice and i thought it was because i was in my school in the county away from home, so i wasn't around to feed him. >> when did you realize that this is a big problem and not just a problem in your village? >> [speaking in chinese] >> translator: it took me a long time. >> [speaking in chinese] >> translator: in the middle of the cultural revolution. >> [speaking in chinese]

so in the middle of the cultural revolution, the governor of my province was criticizing me, blaming him come and that is the time. they disclosed the figure that three injured thousand people had died alone. >> you can watch this and other programs online at booktv.org. and now roger lipsey talks at his biography of the former u.n. secretary-general and nobel peace prize winner dag hammarskjold who died in a plane crash. this is about 45 minutes. >> it is a custom in occasions

such as this to demonstrate one's awareness of the eminent people in the room, and i can certainly say that as an ambassador i am so pleased that you are here. thank you for speaking. and nicole, i am so pleased that you invited me to come here. and then all of you, vice president and presidents, thank you very much. i wanted first to tell you about what we are going to speak about. i will take about a half-hour and then we can stick together for 15 minutes or so. our topic, as i see it, is diplomacy, particularly ulin diplomacy with the purpose of establishing or re-establishing peace and justice, peace with

justice. to speak in hammarskjöld's terms as a profound cultural act. a profound, cultural and creative act. that is how he lived it and how he intersect and talked, because he was often in a very understated way teaching of the human community how he viewed all sorts of matters and how they might in turn also view them. so, before we take that up, i thought that we should some in the image of dag hammarskjöld coming and we can do that through a much abridged but i hope interesting sequence of slides. this is a portrait of hammarskjöld taken in the middle of his years at the u.n., which i think we can take as quite classic. this is the

blue-eyed, marvelously compost, curiously warm, curiously cold and remote mr. hammarskjöld. and this also is mr. hammarskjöld. this is the kind of thing that he lived for years and years and years, as i think in africa or -- i didn't take time to check with the scene is that this was a scene the was reproduced tons of times during his eight and a half years as the secretary general, that his eyes are closed indicates that he did and indicates that he has been asked to many questions. but this was his job was to face the world, to face the journalist, to face the diplomats, to be firm, to be immensely intelligent and in front of an extremely difficult situations.

now, all of you know that there were too great aspects of hammarskjöld. one was the senior diplomat at the time a diplomatic genius. and the other was the journal keeper, the person who all through his young manhood and his years as a swedish civil servant at the end of his civil service career he was cabinet member, was keeping a private journal which was never revealed. no one had read it. and he simply inform the trend toward the end of his years at the u.n. that there existed a journal and that he would be the note on it for his friend and the friend could decide whether to publish it or not. this is a page from the journal. just at the moment in early april when he was on his way --

when he was on his way to accept the post of the secretary-general, and at top as several here and swedish friends have already read are words that mean not i, but god in amine. some people took this as an assertion that is opposed. it's not an assertion, it was a prayer and this was his fundamental prayer as he entered upon the u.s. service. that somehow through the vehicle that he was, that a righteous providence could act. now, another -- he was multi

lingual. so what you see is 16th century french at the bottom and swedish in the middle. so perhaps there is one thing i would like to translate for you because he was formulating his wishes at the time on the seventh of april, 1953, his inauguration of secretary-general was the tenth of april, as the ambassador said. and what the early french says is from thomas, who was one of the sources that he read so very often. he had him with him on his last trip to the congo, and it says being founded and firmly placed in god, they cannot in any way be proud. and because the vendor to god, all of the good with which they are overwhelmed, they do not

receive glory, the one from another. but the desire only that of god alone. so this is the other side of dag hammarskjöld. but one saw at the inauguration was this slender, marvelously composed individual who gave a perfectly wonderful speech at the u.n.. this is what one saw. a prayer. i want you to see his handwriting. it's obviously unique. there were jokes about it hitting yet he acknowledged to a journalist that it looks as if it could be read either forward or backwards and it vaguely looks like arabic. but it gives you a sense for an intensely disciplined,

compressed, rather abstract mentality, does it not? so, april 10th, 1953 the young secretary general. i wanted to show you his places. this was his office, a photograph by nielsen was a very well-known swedish photographer. it's not often published but for us to see it here it captures bill loneliness and it had two aspects as i and others have interpreted. on the one hand, the position of the secretary-general involves amiriyah relationships and connections and also a certain

distance of necessity. and that distance, that solitude of someone who cannot be compromised who must enter into that cannot be swallowed up is somehow reflected in this image. the other aspect of his loneliness is that he was after all a bachelor. and that when christmas can amount coming he had the experience that so many people who live on their own have. and the main people that knew him care for him on a personal basis would invite him for a christmas dinner or something of that kind. said he did suffer from time to time from a profound loneliness. and yet he eventually understood that is a loan mess which is different from loneliness had to be that it was a structure,

personal structure and identity that he couldn't overcome and need not. this was the living room in his apartment on 73rd street just off park avenue. i am an art historian so i have quite a good time trying to interpret objects but one that is not so easy always with him, but one object that is interpreted here is the ice axson given to him by the man that accompanied sir hillary on the mount everest. he knew that hammarskjöld was a very strong mountaineer although only in the swedish with countries where he had a good

balance and scaling tremendous heights. knowing he was a mountain near caring for the u.n. they gave him an amazing inscription so that you can climb to greater heights committee and that is written on the contract. the little ship is a model that was given to him after the first eight months or so that he was at the u.n.. because he often enough referred to columbus' mission to the west across an unknown mission to what he felt would be the indies but turned out to be brand in continent. and he often compared the u.s. experience to columbus's experience setting off into the unknown and someone had the bright idea of giving him a gift as a little model so it shows

you something of how he lived. also by the end of 1953, he had -- i'm not sure if it was rented or bought but the country tolman brewster new york which is about 60 miles north of here, which when he could escape to eight, it was a great relief to him and he often wrote in his journal. i wanted to show you also -- now that we've seen his places -- some of his attitudes at the u.n.. here he is speaking with the director of security. it's one of my favorite photos of him. it shows -- it shows a clever man, a shrewd man. that is a highly intelligent face and also one with the raised eyebrows, the entire look is of a man who has been around

the block. here he is sitting in 1959 with the burmese diplomat, whom he had held in greatest regard and who actually became his successor after the air crash that took his life in september, 1961. he's sitting here at the podium, the dias and the general assembly, and this is something that was a characteristic of him, the left-hand chair. if you look at dias, there are three chairs. the left and cheer for the secretary-general, the battle for the annual president at the general assembly, the one on the right for the secretary general's chief of staff. again, obviously a favorite photograph. ..

mid that need his attention. he loved press conferences. you know, you would think that this intellectual, which of course, he was, who somehow be adverse to press conferences. he had the best time. he found them to be games of wit, cat and mouse. when he needed to, he was extremely revealing in press conferences because he wanted the public to know certain things as a way of pinning them

down of making them a matter of public record. but when he didn't want the press to know something, he could be immessly entertaining while saying nothing. so this reflects his joy. in short order, how much graff it is a there is. i wanted to put that joyful press conference attitude on the cover of the book. this isn't joyful at all. the event that both thoroughly tested him and created his reputation among the delegation was the so-called mission to -- at the time it was called mission to beijing. the issue -- here he is on the leave of --

eve of leaving for beijing. he was welcomed by the new republican of china. to negotiate possibly the freedom of 13 or was it 11 american airmen who while on u.n. duty under the u.n. flag had been shot out of the air over china and were being treated aspies rather than as prisoner of war. which as you know is a different status. and potentially a could lead to lifelong imprisonment. while there are many detail surrounding the mission to beijing, i thought you might be interested in this image, which shows the compression on him of events as he goes forth in to an unknown. this -- his great success although it

took ten months to realize it was december 1954, his us is by july of 1955 made virtually everyone realize that he was someone that had to take seriously. this is him. in 1955, the u.n. celebrated the tenth anniversary, there was a big meeting in san francisco. i should think the meeting was very, very pleasant. how can be anything bun -- be unprez pleasant in san francisco? he played his role. he gave a talk there. it was very interesting. but at the same time, he was really very realistic about the difficulty of the u.n. it was torn by the cold war

conflict. there were so much waiting in the wings to happen in 1955, summer of 1955. he wrote in to his journal the following really dark but firm statement. you dedicated to this task addressing himself, as the sacrifice if a still bar bar began because of the define intention behind it. it's a feeble creation of hands. you must give your all for that alone anchors it in reality. now, i consider that last idea lastingingly important. you must give your all for that alone anchors it in reality. he's drawing a distinction there which he draws elsewhere there in other context between a good

idea, good feeling, fine intentions, and total commitment even to the point of willingness selfless equipment. -- equipment. that was his credo, that was not what he all together expected of others he hoped for it from others where the u.n. was concerned. and that, he says, in the journal is what endow the u.n. with reality. i find interesting. i want to tell you nobody else know it is. you know it. that the artist of these perfectly wonderful time cover is a man named boris. it was the son of the russian who owned the opera stage in the 1920s and' 30ss.

i don't think is by him. it takes us to the next major event in his u.n. career, which was the suez crisis. you probably remember that the suez canal, which was the lifeline of the british empire oil and food and personnel passing through the suez canal to india and other parts of the empire that in 1956, terrible stresses being exerted on him, the president of egypt nationalized the canal within the u.n. attempted with very strong guidance to negotiate a

sphaer outcome to the nationalization. but meanwhile, the british government and occupy the suez canal. he was in the middle east. he invented shughts diplomacy. mr. kissinger did not. he was in the middle east at the ask of the general assembly and security counsel to establish something resimilarbling, if not peace, then at least the armist, the willingness not shoot at each other that had been put there some years earlier. and meanwhile, even while he was out there, the three power were conspiring to overturn him and occupy the suez canal in a most

reckless way. so this was the origin of peace keeping forces. the notion that a u.n. peace keeping force staffed by many nations could intervene between the combatant in this case, and keep the peace was reestablished the peace grew out of this moment in his career. the author of the idea of peace keeping was very brilliant canadian diplomat leader lester peerson. he worked closely with him. when pierson received a nobel prize for the concept and execution of peace keeping, he really gave all the credit to him. where it was probably due. it's a very interesting story. bryan was the muscle that some

of you know ralph bunch. the brilliant african-american who was one of his inner circles. so that is what you're looking at. a peaceful man with no military experience friar this reviewing the troops. he did this many, many times. and strange to say, his adviser his military adviser an india whom he trusted said that he was a good commander. a good commander in chief. because of his long heritage of military men behind him. he said he wasn't afraid of the military in the way so many were in high places in the u.n. i don't think it was pleased to be revying the troop.

he knew how to do it. in between suez, which was resolved so brilliantly, and the congo crisis, which cover reflects, you can read the date it's from summer 1960. there were number of peace keeping missions. one -- yet another innovation. the ambassador said that he didn't consider the charter immutable. he worked with it to find within it opportunities to fill in gaps that hadn't been noticed when the charter was written. one was in the year before suez and congo was the establishment of the program of special representatives and this worked out while he was in jordan.

where there was a great need for some representation of the u.n. directly responsible to the secretary general. but -- not a whole committee or building of full of people. but a number of people lead by one who was highly responsible and directly connected. so the whole special representative program appeared the years between suez and the congo. the congo was lethal in many, many respects. i don't think there's time for me to begin to tell the whole story, the gist is that when the republican of the congo was twranted in-- granted independents on june --

independents who were the entity. called upon to intervene. he got the message in geneva and said i don't know where it's going to lead. i know, i have to lay it on. those are his words. he laid it on. it shows the u.n. in august of 1960, things went from bad to worse to worst in the sequence of events.

the most mineral-rich province in the southeast with the protection of the belgiums and the british, although it wasn't fully acknowledged, and very possibly the americans. it wasn't acknowledged. certainly the belgium. that stripped away from the congo about 51% or more of the revenue potential. it created an impossible situation. he worked and worked with his people and increase -- and sent peace keepers, of course, peace keeping force, they were 19,000 peace keepers at one point. and things just keep tenth deteriorating. his attitude his attitude was dual. he worked immensely hard with all of his inner circle to set

thing right in what e americaed as a cold war conflict between the soviet block who said that he was in lackey of the capitalist. imperialist trying to create a neocolonialism. on the other side, the ben begins were drying dragging their feet had a lot of support from the covert support by and large. a man in the congo for a critical period. here is a table that he wrote to him at the particularly difficult point. it is a cable -- as it regards political

situations, one major difficulty is that we can never get inside the skin of our congo friends or dis entangle outside maneuver for that reason. the action on anything but rather general concept as to interplay of forces to extend we find our analysis. believe on the whole we will get safer result with the skeptical approach, believe also that this may save us from danger of getting tied up in congo-type intrigues, which grow like mushrooms and die like mushrooms. and mostly, like mushrooms are rather poison. that's the unedited.

but it's framed in this with a lot of personal bite and irony. i knew when i came here that i had enough material for a day-long seminar. [laughter] and i just want to mention two things. one was his death. the concession was a wound. it was a wound to the u.n., it was a wound to the congo, and it became a wound an infected wound in september 1961, when several

of his subordinates in the congo took measures that he had not approved except in principle. he expected there would be a roundup of mercenaries who were a great problem in the congo. shipping the mercenary to where they wanted them to belong. he wanted it to happen. he didn't want it to happen until he had come to the congo and had a chance to speak with his lieutenants there. they wanted to -- it appears, they wanted to give him the gift of a solved problem before he arrived. where as he arrived. and so something resembling a war broke out. everybody was deeply disturbed and he decided eventually to fly over to what seemed to be a "safe haven" in what was then

north a town in the copper belt, mining copper belt to negotiate a ceasefire. that was his aim with the head of this seasoned province. he got an airplane in the late afternoon and about midnight it crashed. the nature of that crash is being -- at the time, there were three investigations. one of them by the u.n., and while the u.n. investigation did not completely eliminate the possibility of foul play, because certainly there were interests that might have imagined that getting rid of him would be a good thing for their cause. none of theless, the notion of pilot error has prevailed for 40

years. at this time, there's an investigation, privately funded investigation underway, and in september there will be a report on that privately-funded investigation by very imminent retired distinguished individuals, swedish, english, african. we'll see what that report says. that's the comment i want to make open -- on that. the next hour of my talk, which won't exist, is to say something about his spiritual life and to say something about the way his spiritualty informed his conduct as an individual diplomat. it is an immensely rich subject. it's the virtual subject of my book, and so i recommend,

really, those of you who care for the u.n., let alone for hammarskjold read the book and see how it worked. the have comet to feel that great individuals, great men, great women, who are for the good, who are not great tyrants, but really for the good have a capacity to infuse the field of action which includes all of us and the community with a purpose, with a vitality, a kind

of mixture of good humor and gravity. with many, many qualities. and such people infuse the field and while they are alive, the field remains sparkling. this was certainly so in hammarskjold's time. the piert wallty -- spiritualty when he bore within him and didn't often reveal during his lifetime. the greatest revelation was the room of quiet, which has the very beautiful message which is still available there. so a lot -- although he didn't often reveal his christian faith. so one could say as he friends

did, he outwinged religion as usually understood. that intensity, that inner intensity he possessed is, was a factor that kept the field sparkling, interesting, important, never slack, and he actually said to, i think, -- a wonderful swedish write like hammarskjold was a member of the swedish academy. he said in this work we're doing every detail counts. that re-- reflects. he meant it. it reflects the way in which the field of contact, the field attention that he created around him, and that lifted up everybody, really, how all the details were atouched by what he

was. so how to conclude. perhapses with a few words that he said, you can feel the threat against the future stronger and stronger. but paradoxy enough parallel to that is growing and irrational conviction that we shall be able to breakthrough the cause -- cause l of chain of clumsiness, self-assertion, and common stupidity. and he also said it reflects the breadth of his vision the wounds

are felt through the body of mankind. i often think about, you know, great men and women -- burden they impose on us. one can't help but feel like, you know, my case a small cell relative to mr. hammarskjold or many other misters and misses. we have our models, our role models, and what i think is necessary to face is a -- what i call a wrestling match with the great ones. and really engaging with them. really knowing who they were. what they said, what they stood for. assimilating making them my colleague.

and i say good. thank you. [applause] [applause] i need to turn to a president or vice president for advice. [inaudible conversations] >> yes, if you were to,some a spiritual sense to channel hammarskjold, how would you say today he would critique the united nations of today?

>> i spent years working on the book. however, i don't think that mr. hammarskjold would have come in with guns blazing. i think he would have done, in effect, what he did in secretary general. he went around to every i was and shook hands with ,000 people and talked to them. i think that after the 4,000 conversations he might draw a circle around him of people he felt were experienced and wise. and make a program. he wouldn't start with what you call a critique.

he would start with hello. sir? [inaudible conversations] thank you for writing this book. the photography is wonderful. maybe it is parochial. [inaudible] and dwight eisenhower and appears briefly eisenhower saw eye to eye with him on the suez crisis. >> yeah. he was privately he was not very patient about it. i mean, someone i don't think it was him said -- [inaudible] i think he rather shared that view.

izing hour was he was sincerely grateful for numbers of things of policy proposals or actions that are eisenhower took. he thought was unconscious belie stupid on the part of the americans to send 10,000 troops to the lebanon. he wrote a funny letter you'll find in my book. it was 1958 when there was a problem in the lebanon. there wasn't -- it really didn't need. hammarskjold wrote a funny letter. he said the american troops had nothing to do but drink coca-cola. have i covered your question,

sir? >> yeah. [applause] is there a non-fiction author or book you would like to see fined on booktv? send us an a e-mail at booktv.org. or tweet us at @twitter.com/booktv. here is a look at books being published this week.
